This is certainly an important area. I personally like to add the work
OMG doing to the a list of important efforts.
Im sitting just now and is incorporating OMG Semantics of Business
Vocabularies and Business Rules in a national handbook. This with links
to WS-Policy and XACML, works rather nice. (01)

In my opinion Its a fair assessment that the CCTS work is tilted toward
technologies consideration and not sufficiently business. The latest
proposals I have seen regarding business level datatyping is rather
mixing functional requirements with technical XML solutions. Im not sure
why a business user should be required to specify a "hexadecimal" amount.. (02)
